Case No. 130

Reference received from PC-IV(B) enclosing therewith reference from Jt. DGFT, Baroda NC 15/11 dt. 08.07.2010 F.No. 01/84/162/140/AM-11/DES-V DEPB claim for export of Mattress Tape under DEPB schedule entry No. 47A. Decision: The Committee considered the case as per agenda and observed that PC-4 (B) Section have sought clarification as to whether the export product “Mattress Tape” is covered under S.No. 47A of DEPB Rate schedule under Product group Textiles (Product Code 89). The Committee observed that in this case export item is 100 Mts. long and 30 mm wide tape made of man made filament yarn and firm has claimed DEPB under fabric category. The technical members of the Committee felt that in normal parlance, fabric range is 120cm – 230 cms or higher and fabric width is 36” (minimum) upto 90” or higher. Hence, only this range of width can be classified as fabric. DEPB Schedule at 47A is meant for fabrics, whereas export product in this case is Mattress Tape having width 30mm and technically Mattress Tape is value added products made out of fabric and cannot be classified as fabric. In view of this Committee was of the view that export item Mattress Tape in this case is not fabric and cannot be covered under 47A of DEPB rate schedule. Therefore, it was decided to inform PC-4(B) Section accordingly.
